A Mopar muscle lover’s paradise at Carlisle

As always, the Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals, July 10-12, will be a Mopar-loverâ€™s paradise with more than 2,200 cars on the Carlisle showfield, a special appearance by â€œBig Daddyâ€ Don Garlits and one of the largest gatherings of A12 factory Road Runners and Super Bees ever assembled.

If thatâ€™s not enough, there will also be some pretty impressive giveaways. On Saturday night someone will be handed the keys to a 1969 Plymouth Fury III following the famous Carlisle Burnout and Beauty contests. On Sunday afternoon following the awards parade, a 500-plus horsepower 490-cubic-inch, big-block stroker engine will be presented to some lucky Carlisle attendee.

There will also be Kids at Carlisle activities and a few things that might interest the fairer sex in the Womenâ€™s Oasis, including cooking demonstrations with Chef Amber Clay from the Kitchen Shoppe of Carlisle.
